IN CASES of SECRECY consult the TREATISE on every Stage and Symptom of the VENEREAL DISEASE , in its mild and most alarming forms , just published , by Messrs . PERRY and CO ., Sdeobows , No . 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , Private Entrance in the Passage ; and 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham , and given gratis with each Box of TERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , price 2 a . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and Hs . per Box , containing a full description of th * above complaint , illustrated by Engravings , shew * ing the different stages of this deplorable and often fatal disease , as well as the dreadful effects of Mercury , accompanied with plain and practioal directions for an effectual and speedy cure , with ease , secrecy , and B&fety , witaouUne aid of Medical assistance . Perry ' s Purifying Speoifio Pills , price 2 s . 9 d ., 48 . 6 d ., and lls . ( Observe none are genuine without the signature of R . and L . Perry on the side of each wrapper ) which are well known throughout Europe and America , to be the most certain and effectual cure ever discovered for every Stage and Symptom of the Venereal Disease , in both sexes , including Gonorrhsea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and Diseases of the Urinary PassageB , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most surprising enree , not only in recent and severe oases , but when salivation and all other means have failed ; and when an early application is made to these Fills , for the cure of the Venereal Disease , frequently contracted in a moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally completed in a few days ; and in the more advanced and inveterate stages of venereal infeotion , characterised by a variety of painful and distressing symptoms , a perseverance in the Speoifio Pills , in which Messrs . Perry have happily compressed the most purifying ana healing virtues of the principal part of the vegetable system , and which is of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scorbutic affections . Eruptions on any part of the body , Ulcerationa , Scrofulous of V « nerealtaint ; being justly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness , counteract every morbid affection , and restore weak and emaciated constitutions to pristine health and vigour . The rash , indiscriminate , and unqualified use of Mercury , has been productive of infinite mischief ; under the notion of its being an antidote for a certain disease , the untutored think they have only to saturate their syBtem with Mercury , and the businesa is accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands are annaally either mercurialized out of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions of nature so impaired , as to render the residue of life miserable . The disorder we have in view owes its fatal results either to negleot or ignorance . In the first stage it is always local , andeasy to be extinguished by attending to the directions fully pointed out in the Treatise , without the smallest injury to the constitution ; but when neglected , or improperly treated , a mere local affection will be converted into an incurable and fatal malady . What a pity that a young man , the hope of his country and the darling of his parents , should be snatched from all the prospects and enjoymetns of life by the consequences of one unguarded moment , and b y adisease which is not in its own nature fatal , and which never proves so if properly treated . It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victim , to this horrid disease owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men ,, who , by the use of that deadly poison , mercury , ruin the constitution , oause ulceration , blotches on the h « ad , face , and body , dimness of sight , noise in the ears , deafness , obstinate gleets , nodes on the shin bone , ulcerated sore throats , diseased nose , with nocturnal pains in the head and limbs till at length a general debility of the constitution ensues , and a melancholy death pnts a period to their dreadful sufferings . Messrs . Perry and Co ., Surgeons , may be consulted , as usual , at No . 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , Private Entrance in the Passage ; and No . 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham . On !; one personal visit is required from a country patient to enable Messrs . Perry and Co . to give such advice as will be the means of effecting a permanent and effectual cure , after all ether means have proved ineffectual . Letters for advice must be post-paid , and contain the usual fee of one pound . THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is now universally established as a redledy of great efficacy . It is possessed of the most invigorating powers ; warming and cheering the spirits , and promoting digestion . It ia an excellent remedy for nervous , nypocondriao , consumptive , and female complaints , lassitude , and weakness arising from juvenile imprudencies .

OLD PARR'S LIFS FILLS . MORE PROOFS that this noted Medioine will restore to health the afflicted , and continut in sound health the recovered . Road the followin / j from a soldier , discharged ftom her Majesty ' s service as incurable , after haying the advloe of the moat celebrated physicians : — " To the Proprietors of Old Parr ' s Pills . " Gentlemen , —I feel it a duty I owe to you and to tho Public at large , U acknowledge the astonishing benefit I have received from taking ' Old Pan ' s Pills . ' I was for nearly nine years in the 52 « d Regiment of Foot , but was discharged in the year 1839 as incurable , after having the best advice her Majesty ' s service afforded , being pronounced consumptive ; I then reiurned home to Hinckley , where my attention vras attracted to Old Parr ' s Pills . I was induced to purcl > aso a 2 s . 9 d . box , and from that moment I date a renewal of my life ; for on taking one box , I immediately be ? an to recover , and two 3 d . 9 d . boxas more completely cured me . " I am , yours most obediently , " John Osbohm . " Witness—James Burgess , Bookseller , &o . &o ., Hinckley . The following extraordinary case of cure has been communicated to the Wholesale Agent for Parr ' s Life Pills , at Nottingham : — Mrs . Joseph Simpson , Church Hill Close , Old Lcnton , near Nottingham , haabeon severely afflicted for the last thiriy y » -ar 9 , with a violent cough , and aifficulty of breathing . The affliction has been so severe that she could not fulfil her usual domestic obligations . She took cold when only fifteen years old , and the cough never left her till she took Parr's Life Pills . She had tried almost every kind of medicine , and had taben laudanum in large quantities , but nothing afforded relief . She heard of Parr ' s Pills about last Christmas , and as soon as she had taken about half a box , ehe found herself completely cured , and was never affected in the alightest manner during the severe weather that followed , and is now better in health than she has ever been in her life . This cure does indeed appear miraculous , but for tho satisfaction of the most incredulous , she has kindly consented to answ , r any inquiries , either by personal application or by letter , addressed " Mrs . Joseph Simpson , Oiurch Hill Close , Old Leaton . " Two remarkable oases ( selected from many others ) fiimmuiiicated to Mr . Noble Bookseller and Printer , 23 , Market Place , the Agent for Hull . Mr . Plaxton , of CoUingham , five miles from Hull , had load been afflicted with a most severe internal diseaee . So dreadful were the paroxysms that he frequently expected death was at hand to release him from his sufleringB . For a great length of time he had been unable to sit down at all , evrn being compelled to stand at his meals . His next door neighbour having heard of the virtues and unprecedented success of " Parr's Pil s , " purchased a small box for him , and « n his oallinjc for a second box , he told mo that such had been the astonishing effects produced by one bo * , he was able to tit down , and on taking two other oexes , his pains have left him ; his appetite is good , and he is able to follow his vocation nearly as well as he has eret been in his life . Mrs . Sbaw , wife of Mr . Shaw , yeast dealer , bad been for a great length of time afflioted with a severe internal disease . To use his own » expre 3 sion , " p lying dootors for her had beggared him , so that at last he was compelled to send her to the Infirmary ; there she received no permanent benefit . Having heard of " Parr ' s Pills , " he purchased a small box ; she began to mend immediately on taking them , and two more boxes have cured her . She is as well as she ever was inner life . Mrs . Stephenson , of Cottingham , five miles from HhH , has been severely afflicted with a bad leg for more than ten years , and during < tbat period has tried' all kinds of medicines , but without any permanent relief . After taking four email boxes of

TO THE ELECTORS . OF THE BOROUGH OF LEEDS . &ENTLEMEN , —A Requisition has been presented to me from a large and influential' Body of ice Electors of Leeds , calling npon me to beconie % Candidate , in conjunction with Lord JoceJyn , for the Representation of th « Borongh iu the event of a Dissolution of Parliament . The character of the Appeal with which I am honoured , whether I regard the number or respectability of the parties ¦ w ho make it , is such as will not permit me to hesitate between the inclination of prime feeling and the dictates of pablic daty ; I , therefore , Gentlemen , respectfully announce to 70 a my intention of complying with its request . In declaring myself a Candidate for so great an
Bon&nr , and in purposing to undertake so heavy a responsibility as that of watching over th ' e Parliamentary Interests of this extensive Borough , I wish I could offer to jou th « benefit of Parliamentary as well as Commercial Experience in the consideration of all those great questions which so deeply absorb the public mind- Never have we stood more in need of the ability of an energetic Government or the wisdom of an enlightened Legislature thin at the present moment ; and I confess that I do not recollect the period when th « depression of everj teanch of our Commercial Interests has been so appalling as is now is , nor can I conceive any duty so imperative upon Parliament as that of a inort paiient yet prompt endeavour to devise substantial laeins of relief .
What may be the cause or the combination of Gashes which has produced thJ 3 para ] ysis = " of our commercial strength , or what may be the best means ' f restoring us to activity , admits of much discussion , i and deserves to be discussed with moderation and temper . ; 1 u ihose who ascribe our present distress to the operation of the existing Corn Laws , I can admit ic&i a redaction and modification of the present Kale of duties would not be attended with injustice ' to any cliss of the community ; and to the advocates j of Free Trade I can equally admit that our Commercial Code requires deliberate investigation , and that many obstacles which now impede the current of Trade may be removed without injury to any other existing Interest ; but in the pursuit of this object , I hope that England will not be compelled to abandon those exertions which she has so aubly begun in tearing off the hideous badge of Slavery [ from the hama . 11 race . i ¦
Upon the subject of the Poor Law , the provisions Tt&zzing to what is called oat-door relief avpe&r to I me to have been made by the Commissioners in utter ' ignorance of the precarious empleymeat of a manu- : factoring population , of which not only individuals , ' but autsses of individuals , are , at a few days' notice , ' reduced from a state of industrious competency , to helple = 3 destitution . Relief bo restricted is wholly inapplicable to the wants of the dense population ( of a tradiog district ; besides which , there arc other > parts of this law that evidently require amend-1 men ? . ! It 15 needless for me to dwell in this address upon i my devotion to our Church , or upon the importance j which I attach to the Religious Education and Moral i Improvement of the Poor . It is equally needless for '< Be to express my reverence and admiration for all fchoi-e institutions comprised within the pale of our . ; unequalled Constitution , calculated as they are to en- ; :
UI 1 blessings upon all classes of tiie Community ; but I am persuaded that these blessings cannot be per- j Banently enjoyed by any class , or in any rank of me , ; unless due regard t > e paid to the means of subsist- ' eaee and to the ** contented labour" of the great body of the People . : Whatever may b * the estimation m which the po-Eey of the present Administration has been held by &s supporters , they must acknowledge that that policy cannot be successfully applied to the exigen-1 ties of the State except it be based vpon the Conn- ;

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF ; LEEDS . GENTLEMEN , —The honour yon have dozje mei * presenting to me the flattering Requisition II have just received , proposing that I should offer , myself as a Candidate for youi Suffrages as ene of your Representatives in Parliament , demands my j satrst cordial tbarks . I am fully sensible , likewise , j of the additional value which is stamped on that Reqoisition by your having associated my name with , that of your honoured Townsman , Mr . William ' Beekett ; and , with such a eall and such a colleague , I cannot hesitate to accept your invitation , and to prcl-is mj willingness to ignt with you the battle of the Constitution in this great Crisis of the public affairs .
With respect to the principle on which I now eomt , forvrard , I have already had some opportunity of ; explaining myself to you personally ; but in accepting j yojr Requisition I am bound to state explicitly to all : he Electors what those principles are . In on « i word , then , they are strictly Conservative ; that is ! to say , they are such &s will lead me to consult the interests , not of one class to the exclusion or preju- ' dice c-f others , bne to advance the weli-being of tht enrire Community , adhering as closely as possible to \ - -f- old Landmarks of the Constitution . ' i ? aaH not bid for your support by promising K > ro ¦ p and destroy every Institution that may be fo : - - 10 require Regulation or Improvement ; bat sr . i . doe respect to the existing Laws and Usages of z- Country , I would labour to preserve whatever is -= ful , and honestly to correct and reform
waateT-r , ~ . A-10 the immediate questions which now occupy th ¦¦ Dublic mind , I believe you will agree with me im ticking that , however important they are in themse . e-, and deserving of themoit serious considerate » f the Legislature , they do not constitute tht re-ai point at issue at this time , which is no Ie 33 than tt = formation of an efficient Government in place of th « weak Ministry which has for the last few and desirous years exercised the responsibility without bt ' ina abie to wield the powers of the State .
Taa ; xhe unexampled depression of the Commercial stT . Financial affairs of the Country requires a searching investigation into its cause , and great ff v-jjm and firmness in applying the fittest remedies , no taan can doubt ; but it is equally obvious that the in ii-penfibie preliminary to this is the formation of & : -rong and effective Government , wise in counsel , ar i possessing the confidence of so decideda majority of h . ? Representatives of the p « eple as to have the power of carrying through the measures wbick thr-v may deem the exigency of the times to
req . ^ re . to : he support of snch a Government , if elected 8 , 5 ¦ iB « of you ? Representa ' iTes , I shall consider U jdt j uiy to reader my assistance , believing entirely tfcu ; v . can be formed only on Conservative prmci ? ; e = ; and while thus seeking to accomplish what 1 Ctn-: der necessary to the safety of the Country , I w : i \ address mjseif assiduously to the protection and » c > ancem : nt of your own varied interests , and to the co- ) :- ¦ deration of those great and complicated cat 2 ii questions which involve oa the oae hand the gr i-. eri extension that can safely and profitably be in . iieofthe Minufacruring and Commercial Exerfcuns of ibis Coantrr , and on the other the
protection 'A the large and important interests of- tke Cultivitors of the S ^ ii ; the supply of Food to all classes fr-.-e from the influence of Foreign Jealousy and the dinners of Foreign War ; the removal of all the hs .- -h and needless severity of the New Poor Law , re -T . ngii applicable ( which at present it is not ) to ie vicissitudes of the trade , and the wan : s and eo u Torts of the Manufacturing Population ; the ina : u ie . iiiee of the grea : and truly gloriou 3 ' tffurt made at - > large a cost by this Country to strike eff th ^ bo ii •¦; ' Slavery throughout the world ; and tie ex ration of those means of a moral and reli ^ ioos Nat onal Eiaw-tion which cau aioue insMre tag « 5 > : y of the State and the well-b » iu ^ of aL Lliit-cs asi' > : jg our rapidly-increasing PopaLuion .
Upoa these and all other subjects I shaD befaapoy to z . itr-1 ro a ef ' . ry satisfaction ia my powr r whenev-r iha proper period arrives for my a ^ am appearing im > ng you , and in the meantime I sh ^ il reiy vn the continaance of those efforts upon your pan to wi en jouhave so generously pledged yoarselves , » ao which , if continued , cannot , I believe , fail to be flrosrned with the desired effect .

to the constitution and workings of GoT € rnment the condition of the people , their grievances , opinions , and feelings , become the sacred daty of alL The present is such a period . The voice of discontent rings through the land , and the cry of the oppressed pieroeth the heavens . Merchants and Manufacturers , Masters and Workmen , all , in fact , except those privileged to live on the resources developed and wealth produced by the mind , Bkill , and labour of the people , are dissatisfied with things as they are . Oppression and fraud irtcTsim dailj . Rain sad onendurable miBery are fruits of things as they are ; therefore , a change is demanded . But what change ! What change is adequate to the emergencies of the case , and capable of effectually eradicating existing evils ? What change will make England and Englishmen what they ought to be ? Various schemes are offered by parties claiming your Suffrages . Which is the best i
J That is the question , the " Question of Questions , " ; which yon must now decide I ! As an Englishman attached to my country , and a 1 man desirous of advanctag the condition of my I race , I respectfully submit my views of the means ' by which the honour and happiness of both would be secured , I "BejuBt , and fear not . " That ifl my remedy ; ; the foundation of my political creed . CUbs Legislation , and Irresponsible Power , are : opposed to this . I believe them , therefore , to be ; the source of our miseries—Government by and for ¦ the people , the oaly remedy . ; Justice io the People requires that the voice of i their Representatives be heard in the Legislature \ which makes laws affecting their lives , means of I existence , and happiness . Thia Justice to the Peo-; pie is not only compatible with , but inseparable from , the real happiness of all . I am , thertfore , no Political Partizin , nor Party Slave . $
: My Principles are embodied in the People's i Charter , and are admitted , by all . to be abstractedly , jxist ; but I hold that where Justice is an abstractum , Injustice must be & realUy . 1 The Principles of the Charter would rest the Government of the Country in Men of Mature Age 1 and Sound Mind ; the present system enfranchises 1 and legislates for Bricks , Mortar , and Money . The former is a Living Soul , the latter a Dead Matter ' Suffrage . : I am not only for the Repeal of the Corn Laies
but the abolition of all Duties upoH Imports and Exports . I would make Trade as free as the air we breathe , and abolishing all other Taxes , weuld provide the needful expences of a just Govemmment by a Tax upon Property . I maintain th * right of the Unemployed Labourer , as well as the Aged and Infirm , to a subsistence from the Boil of his native Land ; and shall , therefore , oppose the present Poor Law as insufficient in its provisions , as well as insulting and despotic in its administration .
My opinions on other subjects I Bhall have an opportunity of submitting to you shortly ; in the meantime , I assure you your Choice shall be my Qualification , your approbation aj reward , and the promotion of your universal Interests my highest Happiness . 1 I am , Gentlemen , Your Friend and Servant , JAMES WILLIAMS . 1 Sunderland , June 12 , 1841 .

TO THE ELECTORS AND NON-ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF LEEDS . rn HE time has arrived when a new Government J . has to be formed out of the Representatives of the National Mind . In the struggle for the selection and election of such Representatives Leeds has to take a part ; and already are four Candidates , in the respective interest of the two great factions who have ruined our country , claimants for your " Bweet voices . " To meet the usurped powsr of faction , you have , in Public Meeting assembled , called npon me to become a Candidate for the Representation of your Borough , associating me with a noble colleague—one of Nature ' s Gestlemen . I have great pleasure in responding to your call ; and hope to prove myself worthy of your confidence by exhibiting the incompetency of our opponents to legislate for the present enlightened ract of "ignorant" Englishmen .
I am a plain , blunt man ; so " ignorant , " that I am not considered worthy of being trusted with the power , or even the right , of judging of the respective merits of those who plead for your Votes ; while you consider me worthy the distinguished honour of standing by their side as a Competitor . My opinion on the questions of the Suffrage , the Ballot , and the Church , " are not" in process of formation" ! They are fully matured and confirmed . I trust , therefore , that I shall not require "drilling " w ' render " me '' sufficiently acceptable to the
Electors" on these points I I am a firm and a a compromising advocate for the mmediate legislative adoption of the People ' s Charter—a document drawn up by Dan O'Connell , Mr . Roebuck , Mr . Hume , and others . ThU measure du ! y provides for the just Representation of the whole People ; secures the free exercise of the Franchise ; and pats an effectual stop to the practice of Bribery and Corruption which now so notoriously prevails . Under its provisions the House of Commons eonld be no other than a true reflex of the
National Mind . Belonging to the people ; having no interest but in common with the people ; working for the people ( in Parliament if sent ) as I have hitherto worked among the people , I shall be free from the trammels of party or faction ; and shall not have to sacrifice honour , honesty , truth , consistency , and character to maintain the ascendenoy of any one set of miscreants over anotber . 1 shall never be obliged to vote that " black is white" to preserve my friends in office ! I I make no difference in the creeds of Whig and Tory . The whole { if acy ) consists in their position relatively to the two little monosyllables— " iu" and " out ! " The Whigs in are Tories : —; he Whigs out , are anything that you wish to make them to secure their " iunings" !!
As a charge has lately b » en made by the hired press against that body to which I have thehocour to belong—" the CliArtbl-paid Missionaries , "—a word here , perhaps , may not be out plsce . We have been called - Trafiicking Politicians . " For the present I shall rest q iietly under the charge ; but upon the day of Nomination I shall take the libertj of questioning both " the roble soldier , " and the " prostituted barrister" as to the difference of our respective callings : and I think I shall be able to show , that while I siill eat the bread of honest toil . that one of my competitor- is a tool ready to behired at so much per day for the honourable service of
indiscriminate slaughter , while the other is ready to prostitnte himself , for pay , to the indiscriminate support of right or wrong—the first comer being the object of his protection and support . Electors and Non-Electors !—A great and mighty change is at hand I and it , behoves us to be prepared with the proper machinery for working out that change . Hitherto all Revolutions hare failed , because the people have not been prepared with a new system to replace the old one ; ihe intermediate space between the death"T one s }> tem and the establishment of aoother ka . ruisj ge . ner&Uy beea one of Physical Revolu ion , in whica the paramount and general good of the people has b * en overlooked .
To constitute a small cojj in the required machinery I lake to be the purpose to whicn . you mean to app ' y me and my honourable colleague should you elect us ; that is * we sn ^ H form a portion of the National Representation of ihe National Will , ready to act for the Nation wh ^ n society shall be convulsed , ( as in all probability it will be ) by the interested sirn ^ glfi of the two ri val factions for supremacy . Wnatever dan ^ r may be consequent Epon that position , I willingly undertake it ; and shall not shrink from any hnuourable task imposed npon we by my Cous-titutents . We are in the midst of a mirhtv struggle between Land and Ma
chi . neey . The question of the rightful and harmonioub application of these two elements of production is one of paramount impwasic * . though few nnder 3 tand its bearings . I flatter myself that I know some little on each br ^ Di-h of the subject , having had practical acquaintance with both . We mast return from a too-artificial , to a more natural ^ tate of Society . Tnen will each of these great sources of Wealth and Happiness find its true place in the ' - ^ timation of Society , and producb its natural results . Agbicultpre will then be fostered , and not difcaura ^ e ) ; and Machinery will 6 e made to work for man , instead of worfcina against him , as at present .

TO THE ELECTORS AND INH \ BITANTS OF THE BUROUGH OF itOCHUALE . EtECTOBS a > d Inhabitants op Rochdale , T COME before you , at this great Crisis , as the caa-JL dictate for your representation , not assuming that position at my own seeking , but under the command of a great body of your Electors , signified to me by their written requisition , and since sanctioned at your late Meeting , by the unanimous approval of your assembled Citizens—not assembled m privacy , or within walls , where opponents could be excluded —but in an open space where every individual had the unrestricted power to enter , after » Procession
through yonr Streets , which gave the greatest possible publicity to the object . I am not so presump tuous to consider this proceeding as a manifestation of personal favour to myself ; I hold it as a declararation of your adnesioa to thai great Cause which w « jointly support : —that Cau 5 s is , the Abatement of Monopolies , Political , Rel'gious , and Commercial ;—it was this ca-nse which-, at youi Meeting and Prjce ^ ion on Saturday evening , produced such unanimity and enthusiasm—that through the extended ran ^ e of that Proce .-= ; on , and at that Meeting , not one murmur of dissent was heard .

When I avow myself the Opponent of all Monopolies , I proclaim the advocacy of every Measure which can produce Political , Religious , and Commercial Freedom . I desire , by the just Extension of the Suffrage to all Classes of the Community , protected by the Ballot to destroy the Monopoly of Representation by which the few have been hitherto enabled to xagjfce Laws to the injury of the many : —end I hoIcTcSfs Monopoly of Representation to be the grand source from which erery other Monopoly has derived its existence and support . I desire to Establish Religious Liberty , by Abolishing Church Rates and all Compulsory Assessments , through the means of which a man may be required
to pay for the Ministry or Ordinances of a Church with which he is not joined , ia communion . I desire to establish Commercial Liberty , by Repealing all Duties imposed for the Protection of CiaB 8 lnterest 3 , among 8 twhichIconBidertheDDtieson Corn to be the most grevioas , oppressive , and unjust , —and rendered Btill more intolerable , whilst through the means of the New Poor Law , the provision for the Poor has been curtailed , and the terms of relief rendered so hard and offensive to the honest feelings of English Independence as to induce the sufferers to submit , in many cases , to the extinction of life through want and disease , rather than humble themselves to the degrading condition of a Workhouse . By these unjust enactments , discontent has been
generated , the attachment of Englishmen to the constitution of their Country has been weakened , outrage has been the unfortunate consequence , your Jails have been filled with Political Offenders , and under pretence of enforcing good order—the constitutional Constable has been exchanged for the hired Policemen—the noble institutions of your Great Alfred have been cancelled—Englishmen are no longer to be the unpaid guardians of their own peace—and a body has been formed under the name of a Rural Police , for the support of which , your Taxes have been increased , and an instrument has
been created , which , in the hands of an arbitrary Government , might speedily be converted into a Standing Army independent of the control of Parliament , and applied to the subversion of all the Constitutional rights of the people . My desire is to restore your country to good order , not by the continuance of imprisonments and punishments , and despotic establishments , but by such improved Laws and systems of policy as will secure the attachment of the Peoplo to their form of Government , and their obedience to the authorities of the State , by a sense of the practical benefits secured to them .
With reference to Ireland , I claim for that portion of the United Kingdom , Equal Rights , and Privileges , and Franchises with Britain , and I desire to incorporate the interests of the two Countries by the communication of mutual advantages , through the means of just and impartial principles of united Legislation . Electors and People of Rochdale , snch is an abstract of my opinions , ray well considered opinioaa —which I have more fully explained to you at your public meetings : —I have told you also , that I will not go to Parliament to support the objects of any Party or Ministry , or any Leader , but to sustain to the best of my judgment , by my honest votes , the combined interests of all Classes of the Community :
and impressed with the evil of the lengthened duration of Parliaments , I reiterate the pledge of annually submitting my Parliamentary Conduot to the test of your decision , and if called on , at any time , by any considerable number of the voters who supported me , I promise to re-place in your hands the trust of your Representation . If I go into the House of Commons in a capacity to serve you , I must go there by your free , unsolicited , and unpurchaaed voices : —On no other terms can I consent to be your Representative . Electors of Rochdale , I feel there are no personal grounds on which I could solicit the position of your Representative . We come together with a view of acting for the common good of oar Country : we
desire , at this great Crisis , to take the best steps to promote those Reformed Systems which the National interests imperatively require . For these objectsour connection roust be founded on public virtue . Electors and Inhabitants of Rochdale , I am informed that the friends of Monopolies will attempt to make a stand against us , by mtans of the power which the monopoly of the rights of voting supplies them . That they hope , by private workings and undue influences , and , above all , b y creating divisions , to swamp the votes of the Liberal Electors , and defeat that power which would be impregnable to their attacks if the Elective Franchise were diffused to a just extent through your Working Classes .
Be on your guard , therefore . Recollect "That united we stand—divided we fall . " Think not of the individual Candidate , but of tbe cause , —think of your wives and families—think of your working fellow townsmen , the Non-Electors , and then ask , — will you gbe your votes in support of those monopolies by which the sources of employment are closed , whilst at the Eame time the prices of food are raised!—Electors , recollect that the more the fraacbise is limited , the higher are the responsibilities of those who hold it . Permit me , in conclusion , to call to your mind the memorable words of NeJson , — " England expects every man to do his duty 1 " Acting upon this motive alone , I offer myself to your service .
Your faithful Servant , WM . SHARMAN CRAWFORD Rochdale , June 7 th , 1841 .

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF BRADFORD , p ENTLEMEN , —You are about to be called Hpon IT to exercise the important Trust which you hold in common with the other Electors of this Kingdom , of returning Representatives of your opinions to Parliament . Theprcseut Political Crisis is perhaps of more importance to the industrious and productive Classes of our Countrymen than any that has occurred in our history . A struggle is about to ensue between the two great Factions of the State for Political Power . —They are so nicely balanced that it will require but a very few Independent Men in Parliament to turn the scale on whatever side is most favourable to the People .
It behoves you therefore to exercise the Elective Franchise with caution and discrimination . Have a clear understanding with the Candidates , and endeavour to return , at least , one indepondent ! of party ; for the great advantage of having only a few such men in the ensuing Parliament is obvious . They ail hold the Balance of Power , aud the cause of the People must progress . In responding to your call , it ib but right that I should give you a « an did statement of my political principles . They are , adopting the maxim of Benthain , to secure to tho People the greatest happiness of the greatest number I To arrive at that desirable end , I bsiieveit necessary to give to them Universal Suffrage and increased facilities for acquiring knowledge , by a National System of Education founded on liberal and enlightened principles . I am for restoring to the People their ancient usage of electing their representatives Annually , and that they
should be paid for their Services , believing these measures to be of the utmost importance in securing a real Representation of the People in Parliament . by establishing , on a firm basis , that dependence of the Representatives upon the Represented , which is e ? sential to good Government . I am also for a division of the Kingdom into Electoral Departments , depending in their divisions upon an equal amount of population , as one of the meana of getting a fair Representation of the People , by destroying the present corrupt and iniquitous Bystem of permitting BoroughB with a population of 4 , 000 to exercise the same influence in the State as those containing 100 , 000 inhabitants . I am an advocate for the Vote by Ballot , not from principle , but expediency , looking upon it under the present cotifined arrangement , as the only meazis of destroying the corrupt system of influence and bribery at Elections . The foregoing I consider fundamental principles called itiw existence by the increasing intelligence of the
age . With re » ard to those Measures now exciting publio Discussion , I am fora Total Repeal of the Corn Laws , believing them to be an iniquituua tax upon the many for the benefit of the few ; and an impediment to the Extension of the great , Rewurced of thia Country , her Manufacturing Industry and Capacity . I am for a Repeal of all those Laws which prt vtut the freest Intercourse of rations in their Commercial Transactions , believing such Restrictions to be disadvantageous to the great mass of tho People in this Country , and an Impediment to the Advancement ot the Civilization of Mankind . I am ia favour of a Graduated Property Tax , as the fairest which can be levied , to supply the deficiency of Revenue whioh
might be occasioned by an alteration of our Commercial Code . I am opposed to the New Poor Law , considering it Unchristian and Inhuman , ia sacrificing the nearest and dearest Ties of Humanity to Political Economy . I am for the Abolition of Church Rates , looking upon them as oppressive and dishonest towards tho Dissenters , ino&tling upon them to contriButeto the support of a Structure in wiiiciithey never congregate . This is the general outline of my Principles ; not taken up for the occasion , but whieh 1 have held throughout life . I have Independence and Leisure , both essential for the proper performance of the duty of a Representative of the People in Parliament .
If yon think my Principles claim your support , mv time and energies are at yonr serv , < . . aut b > no bribery or Intoxication , ( oenig a aeoiued inead to the Temperance Caust . ) will 1 compromise my Principles , or endtr . Y-. ur to corrupt you . I shall then have the satisfactio n in care ,. ; ' , ay KWtiou , of entering npon my da m * L .
